I have done dining chairs with drop in seats and backs. Those are easy. These chairs are not an easy job. I'd say go with the pro for this one. Especially since you have such good offers!

One big problem is that you have suburban house doors and molding in stark white in a great modern space. My solution would be to unify the style for a start, by removng the molding from around the...

Love the Rosewood dresser. Just stunning.

Oh no, this is a little bit too Dexter for me. I love my favorite neighborhood serial killer....as long as he stays in the teevee box he comes in. :)

Restoration Hardware is great for bathroom lighting and towel racks, etc. that look much more expensive (think Waterworks and Urban Archeology) than they are and function well.

I love historic houses. The hot or not question is a bit odd when you consider the restrictions put on historic houses. It's not like they could stucco the front or make major drastic changes. Ther...
